About Us

Established in 2014, A4Altruistic is a London based registered charity (1161213) which offers support allowing visually impaired people to access live music where they would otherwise struggle due to their impairment.

Vision

Our Vision is for each visually impaired person to have the opportunity to choose to go to live musical events based on preference rather than accessibility.

Why

By supporting a variety of registered charities A4Altruistic aims to improve access for visually impaired people to live music in London.
Even though various charities are doing great work in supporting visually impaired people none of them offers
support to both the individual and the venue.

Improving access for visually impaired people takes the form of:

Physical support to get to and from the venue

Support for live music venues

Raising awareness of support for visually impaired people

Physical support to get to and from the venue

‘Shape’, a disability-led arts organisation working to improve access to culture for disabled people provided this type of support until lack funding caused them to discontinue this service. In 2015 and part of 2016 support
for visually impaired people to get to the venues was provided by the ‘Thomas Pocklington Trust’.

From May 2016 onwards A4Altruistic operated a scheme to provide a service similar to the discontinued schemes. However, The Thomas Pocklington Trust have re-started their scheme and since there is no reason to duplicate this service we have advised our users and volunteers to join the Thomas Pocklington Trust link up scheme.

Support for live music venues

A4Altruistic helps live music venues that improve accessibility for their visually impaired customers.

Raising awareness of support for visually impaired people

A4Altruistic intends for the supported registered charities to become better recognised and promoted in London.

How

Donations

The few expenses to administer grants, expected to be less than £ 20 for 2017 (£ 13 for 2016 ; See Our Annual Report), are funded by the directors.

We also accept cheques made payable to 'A4Altruistic' and sent to 56 Verulam House, Hammersmith Grove, London W6 0NW.

The In Touch programme

A4Altruistic presents the In Touch programme, an initiative designed to deliver imaginative workshops and performances, in order to stimulate visually impaired people to discover or experience more live music.

Interacting with instrumentalists, singers and communities in a relaxing, affordable and accessible environment will empower visually impaired people to overcome access barriers and enjoy live music events in the multitude of venues across London.

Musical workshops for disabled people do exist but there is no equivalent arrangement for the visually impaired in London. This is in no doubt because of by the great effort and expense required to develop successful workshops. However, it is achievable with the strong support for visually impaired people that exists in the London community.

Our programme is managed entirely by volunteers, who receive no payment or expenses. It runs on a limited budget and is funded by donations while still aiming to provide high quality events for many years to come. The latter is very important as A4Altruistic realises that audience development is a continuing process and is best achieved through longer-term projects.

Confronting barriers: Accessibility, Affordability, Cultural

A4Altruistic uses In Touch to create partnerships with other organisations, removing barriers that discourage visually impaired people from attending live music events and consequently, missing out on the benefits these musical experiences offer.

Venues across London are working hard to make their spaces as inclusive as possible, but audience development requires a different approach for specific groups of the population, and venues don’t have enough resources to cater for all. In Touch addresses the specific needs of visually impaired people.

For any event, customer service and the ‘whole’ experience are important, not just the artistic element.

Familiarising visually impaired people with music events through an audio described element will increase the enjoyment from such events. In addition, cultural barriers are tackled by uniting visually impaired people and sighted people working in the music business at joint events.

The average income for a visually impaired person is about 50% of the median income. This means that visiting live events can be a great strain on disposable income. We deal with this financial barrier by offering affordable ticket prices.

He loved going to concerts in London and was pivotally involved in helping someone who became visually impaired due to macular degeneration. The latter was the incentive to start this particular charity. A4Altruistic is a pun on Alec’s tattoo (being the letter A followed by the digit 4 tattooed on his right arm).
